How to add other Xink administrators and set roles

Xink role-based access control capability allows Xink Administrators to assign a login to other admins with different levels of permissions based on their job role.

Example #1 - IT handoff login to the marketing department:

IT set up the Xink account for pilot users. Test that everything meets expectations. Then IT add a login to the marketing department, and set roles. IT handoff the login to the marketing department.

Example #2- Marketing handoff login to the IT department:

Marketing set up the Xink account for pilot users in the marketing department. Marketing is happy and adds a login to IT. IT use their login to automate/integrate to the company infrastructure. This is a one-time setup for the IT department.

How to change permissions

The Account administrator role specifically

This role is assigned to the first account administrator created during signup.

This user can do everything incl. add/delete other administrators.

Only an account admin can promote other admins.

Several safeguards are placed into the engine to prevent account admins from creating system locks and creating additional support load.

While logged on, Account Admin cannot delete or deactivate their own user record. Also, they can’t change their own permissions at all. Controls are not disabled, but if they try – they get an error message.

Account Admin can change email settings (Username for the system) for other admins and for himself. No email verification is performed, so he can make a typo and block himself from accessing the system in this way.

Emails must be unique across Xink accounts. Thus, if there is john.doe@gmail.com registered in any Xink account, there is no way to add him as to another account.
